    Anyone ever try working 60 hours a week?

    NurseLatteDNP replied to buff nurse's topic in General Nursing

    We work 64 hours a week one week and then we are off the other week. That means we work 7 on and 7 off the whole time. The best part is that we have the "Baylor Plan" and we get payed for 80 hrs. But...

    Any Info on Grayson or NCTC?

    NurseLatteDNP replied to melimayer's topic in Texas Nursing

    This year they came to our school @ GCC to recruit nurses, and they were offering $20.50 start pay with a sign-on bonus (I think it was $2000-not 100% sure) and a large shift diff. They also have a...

    NurseLatteDNP replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you all. He is acting very immaturely and worrying more about the status of the hospital than my happyness. I let him know all of that. Of course he is denying that this is the reason, he...

    Dementional Analysis

    NurseLatteDNP replied to tx_barrett's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is the only way I know how to do nursing math. But I honestly don't know how to describe it in writing. Maybe someone else is better at writing it down. But if you don't like doing math this way,...

    CNA: Krappy attitude

    NurseLatteDNP replied to FinderKeeper's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How can you do all of these things without a licence (especially teaching)? I worked as a nurse tech for 2 years, and all I was allowed to do was skills from nursing school and aide work in addition...

    Job Hunting in Texas

    NurseLatteDNP replied to NurseElaine's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In our local Psych facility the LVNs do all the med passes while the RNs do all the assessments. Maybe that would be an option for you if you can't find anything else in

    Any Info on Grayson or NCTC?

    NurseLatteDNP replied to melimayer's topic in Texas Nursing

    It is just a hard program. They weed out those people who don't think studying is a priority very quick. But if you put the school first and regularly study, you will be fine. I did it with a job and...
